PHONICS EXERCISE: After the student reads the verse(s), the teacher presents a spiritual application before introducing the day's phonics directions.

SPELLING LESSON: The ten spelling words plus applicable rules and exceptions are discussed first. Using a dictionary, the student is to look up any unfamiliar words and use each new word in a sentence.

PENMANSHIP/SPELLING PRE-TEST: Cursive penmanship is normally practiced before reviewing the spelling rules and exceptions prior to the Spelling Pre-Test. Any misspelled words should be written correctly five times each. At the end of the school week, all missed words should be re-tested.

Pacing Suggestions:

Spending two days on each C:2 and C:3 lesson plus related workbook pages should complete the full advanced program within a typical school year, or shortly thereafter. However, some families enjoy taking more time. In that case, simply teach at whatever pacing best fits your child's God-given abilities.

Note to Phonics Edition 1 Users: The current C:3 workbook is compatible with the original C:3 Phonics Lessons and Instructions/Answer Key.
